Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 460 2GB vs Radeon HD 5750 1GB
IntroThe GeForce GTX 460 2GB features core speeds of 675 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 336 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, which comes with GPU core speed of 700 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1150 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 720(144x5) Stream Processors, 36 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthTheoretically speaking, the GeForce GTX 460 2GB should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 2GB will be a lot (more or less 50%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 460 2GB will be quite a bit (more or less 93%) better at AA than the Radeon HD 5750 1GB, and also able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
